Autonomous Ad hoc Sensor Networks
Information
A wireless ad hoc network is a decentralized type of wireless network, in which the network does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes, and so the determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically based on the network connectivity. Ad hoc sensor networks can be very effective in disseminating and collecting sensory data, providing a digital sense of the environmental conditions to smart applications. Herein, spatially distributed autonomous sensors cooperatively pass their sensed data through the network to a base station. The research challenges are now driven toward the speed of collection and reliability under realistic changeable wireless medium condition, given diverse underlying emerging technologies, such as energy harvesting and multi-channel. Today, such networks play a vital role to realize the coming 5th industrial revolution.
